Jeep Rental
One of the best activities on Nantucket. There are many parts of the island that can only be accessed by 4-wheel drive. All of the car rental agencies have jeeps for rent that will allow you to spend the day exploring areas like coatue and other regions. Cost range from $100 to $200 per day depending on time of year.

Probably one of the coolest places on Nantucket. The brewery atmosphere is an open courtyard in with live music, games, food vendors and a huge outdoor patio with an open farm view. Very popular after the beach from 3 to 7 pm.

One of the best historic libraries you will ever visit. This library has everything it should, plus it is a great historic building with an original scrimshaw collection.
